Has anyone moved their Spanish Bank account to Wise, if so how did you find the process and any advice?

I want to find an account with either no or very low charges, we live in the UK and Spain banks charges are ridiculously high.

Thanks in advance.

Use the search box at the top of this page & search for 'banking' & 'free banking'.

Lots of info.

I use Wise.com for all my Spanish direct debits.

I also have a Cajamar Wefferent account which is free of all charges.

I very rarely use the Cajamar account to be honest but I decided it might be prudent to stay within the Spanish banking system.

Hi

       We moved all our direct debits to Wise earlier this year as non residents after some very helpful advice from Roland this was done through our solicitors who have our Power of Attorney, we do still have our Ciaixa Bank Account but only because our Villa insurance which  is with Ciaxa and is locked until August 2022 then we intend to close the bank account.

Phil.
